With Wu Kang and Li Chengxuan working so diligently on these matters, Lin Yifeng doesn't need to worry about building the factory.
As for milk tea powder factories, this requires a lot of technology and equipment, but it's not that difficult. It's just mixing tea powder and milk powder and then drying it into powder.
Otherwise, milk tea shops wouldn't make such big profits, because their costs are extremely low.
The only things that need to be sorted out are the tea supply channels and the purchase of equipment such as centrifuges.
In this regard, China already has well-established technology, and the milk tea flavoring used by many milk tea shops is of the same kind. However, this is something that needs to be carefully considered.
Regarding tea, it certainly can't be the same as Mixue Ice Cream. Lin Yifeng needs a larger supply channel, preferably one that supplies their milk tea factory exclusively.
Guo Fengsheng can simply negotiate with their Mixue Ice Cream tea powder supplier.
As for milk powder, it's even simpler. There are many milk powder factories in China. You can simply buy materials from them in bulk and process them further.
The most important thing to pay attention to is adjusting the amount of milk tea flavoring.
Secondly, there are various formulas after comparison.
Mixue Ice Cream's milk tea production process is relatively simple. Currently, there are no fully-fledged milk tea powder production plants in China. Lin Yifeng directly purchases finished tea powder and milk powder and then adds flavorings to blend them.
As for the various flavors of milk tea, they all use flavorings to change the taste. For example, taro flavored milk tea is made by adding taro flavoring.
Most of these fragrances are liquid; there are currently no powdered additives available.
However, if you want to sell solid milk tea powder, you definitely can't follow the same path as Mixue Ice Cream.
Putting aside the fact that mixing tea powder and milk powder doesn't produce good results, the production of solid milk tea involves adding milk and flavorings, followed by secondary processing into powder.
Of course, Lin Yifeng could choose to skip the step of adding fragrance in this regard.
Lin Yifeng wasn't in a hurry at all about this.
Since we can't solve the technical problems, let's address the root cause of the problem.
"Donglai, go and contact the tea factory and ask them about their specific shipment volume."
"Qingyi, take a break tomorrow and come with me to the milk powder factory to see what's going on there."
Lin Yifeng was in the office instructing the two of them, and also starting the preliminary work for making milk tea powder.
The following morning, Xu Qingyi drove Lin Yifeng to a factory on the outskirts of Muye City.
Many workers had already started work early, and at the factory gate, you could see many trucks delivering buckets of milk into the factory.
It must be said that this was also Lin Yifeng's first time here.
The main issue is the supply of Mixue Ice Cream milk powder. With just a little discussion with the local distributors, they can provide a large quantity of stock.
As Mixue Ice Cream gradually expanded, its distributors could no longer handle the entire market share, and they had no choice but to continue seeking approval from their superiors.
Lin Yifeng mostly delegated the negotiations with the milk powder factory to Guo Fengsheng and Xu Qingyi.
They are also primarily responsible for taking orders on a regular basis.
As soon as the car stopped at the factory gate, Xu Qingyi honked the horn into the yard.
"Sir! Open the door!"
"I've come to see Director Chen!"
Inside the security booth in the courtyard, an old man with a goatee peered out the window and waved repeatedly at Xu Qingyi.
As the car drove into the yard, Xu Qingyi leaned out the car window and asked questions.
"Sir, is Factory Director Chen here today?"
“Let’s go talk to him about business.”
The old man with the goatee frowned.
"Xiao Xu, you've come at the worst possible time."
"They're busy over there, it's probably going to be a while now, we'll have to wait another two hours?"
Who is this?
The old man with the goatee looked at Lin Yifeng in the passenger seat with a hint of doubt in his eyes. It was the first time he had seen Lin Yifeng, and although he looked a little unfamiliar, it was as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Xu Qingyi took out a cigarette from her pocket and handed it to the gatekeeper while explaining the situation.
"This is my boss."
"We won't register! You can just swipe a few lines for us!"
"By the way, what's Director Chen busy with?"
The old man with the goatee frowned as soon as the matter was brought up.
What else could it be?
"Is it those few bastards from the ice cream factory causing trouble again?"
“They come here to cause trouble every few days, acting like they owe someone something.”
"Xiao Xu, and this young boss, you'd better watch out, they're practically ready to feed you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yifeng and Xu Qingyi burst into laughter.
To be honest, the reason why the Makino City Ice Cream Factory hates Lin Yifeng and his group so much is because of Mixue Ice Cream.
Because the milk powder factory provides materials to Mixue Ice Cream, Mixue Ice Cream is able to produce large quantities of milk tea and ice cream, which, to some extent, directly squeezes the market share of the ice cream factory.
However, it can only be said that the ice cream factory brought this upon itself, as their cream ice cream contained relatively little milk powder in order to save costs.
This results in their ice cream being expensive and lacking any milky flavor; at best, it's just a milky popsicle, hardly qualifying as ice cream.
On the contrary, Lin Yifeng is different. The milk powder itself doesn't cost much, but he increases the dosage by a lot, which makes Mixue Ice Cream very milky and the price is similar to that of cream ice cream.
In addition, Mixue Ice Cream & Tea shops are now almost everywhere in Makino City, making many residents prefer to walk a little further to Mixue Ice Cream & Tea shop rather than buy ice cream.
